Manor Romance

Chapter 215 The Eve of the Typhoon
"How's the situation at Jifang Garden?" During dinner, Yun Li and Lu Ci talked about the problems they were about to face.

"After changing all the nutrient solutions, I turned off the switch. If the ventilation is good, it's not a big problem to stop for a day or two, but the location of Jifang Garden is low. If there is too much rain, I'm afraid the lower floor will be flooded. The location of the park is actually not high, we only piled some sandbags at the entrance, you have to think of a countermeasure just in case." Lu Ci confessed.

"I've thought about it a long time ago. Anywhere in the manor can be flooded, but Jifang Garden can't be flooded. Otherwise, what will you do if you run away from home again? Where can I find someone?" Yun Li couldn't help teasing as he ate. road.

Lu Ci knew what Yun Li was referring to as soon as he heard it, his fair cheeks were blushed immediately, and he scolded coquettishly: "If you mention this again, I will overturn the table and leave again, now that I have fake documents in hand, I can go There are so many places.” After the hail disaster, she had conflicts with Yunli, and later became homeless and almost fell into the abyss. Every time Yunli mentioned this, she felt very embarrassed.

"Don't, don't, I'm just joking to liven up the atmosphere. The weather is hot enough, and there is no wind at all. In previous summers, bamboo buildings are very refreshing. This typhoon can't stand it. Do you want tonight? Find a fan for you?" Yun Li hurriedly changed the topic, but he was a little happy to be able to tease Lu Ci, there are not many things that can make this glamorous beauty blush.

"Sister Lu Ci, have you ever run away from home before? Did you quarrel like my parents did?" Xiaoya was concentrating on eating, but after hearing the conversation between the two, she couldn't help but asked with a worried expression. .

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The two of them touched Xiaoya's sensitive nerves while they were flirting. The big devil brother angered my sister, and my sister ran away from home, but later we reconciled and returned to normal."

"Then it must be the Big Devil's brother who is wrong. My sister is so good that she can't do anything wrong, but Aunt Mei said that it's never too late to correct a mistake. I think my brother has already corrected it. Let's forgive him, shall we?" Ya Judgment said, between Yunli and Lu Ci, Yunli will always be the bad guy.

Yun Li was stared at by Lu Ci, and he agreed with a smile: "I was wrong, the two adults let the villain out a lot, and the little one will be obedient in the future. If you point to the east, I will never go west."

"Then will my parents reconcile? Aunt Mei said that they will come back to pick me up soon, but I am afraid that they will quarrel when we are together. It would be great if they can reconcile as quickly as you do." Xiaoya said with a smile on her face. Sadly, it's hard to imagine a four-year-old child showing such an expression, which makes people feel sad and pitiful.

"Of course I will. I will let your brother, the big devil king, watch over him. He is so powerful that your parents won't dare to quarrel. You will be reunited soon. Xiaoya will now obediently stay in the manor and wait for them I'll come back to pick you up after reconciliation." Lu Ci comforted the little guy and put it on his lap.

"Yeah, when the time comes, I will invite my sister to play at home. There is a big swing in front of our house, which was built for me by my father. If the big devil brother doesn't bully me, I will invite him to play too." After hearing Lu Ci's words , Xiaoya's mood improved a bit, and she shared the fun things at home with her. She used to have a complete and warm family, but all of this was in vain.

"Compared to playing on the swing, I prefer to bully you. What should I do?" Yun Li said while staring at Xiaoya with her chin in her hand. This frightened her so much that she unconsciously rubbed into Lu Ci's arms. It seemed that she could find a sense of security in this way.

"Since Xiaoya likes swings, let Big Devil King help you build one. Anyway, our yard is big enough and there is a large shed of grapes, so we can hang a swing under it. Xiaoya can also play on swings in the manor in the future. " Lu Ci suggested with a smile, the two of them focused their attention on Yunli, and Xiaoya's palpitations turned into anticipation.

"Recently, there are a lot of things, and I'm very tired every day. Let's think about this matter again. My shoulder hurts again when I talk about it. It's really hard!" Facing the two pairs of staring eyes, Yun Li leaned back on the chair and moved. Shaking his shoulders, he put on a sad face and said sadly.

Xiaoya is a very good guy, knowing that if he wants to get something from the big devil, he must give something, he broke away from Lu Ci's arms, took a small stool and put it behind Yunli, and the little man just stood up to sit on it Yunli who came down was at the same height, stretched out a pair of tender little hands to help Yunli pinch his shoulders and beat his back, and asked how his strength was from time to time, serving him very attentively.

Lu Ci looked funny, but there was nothing she could do about it. One was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. What could she say?Yun Li sat down on the chair to enjoy the little guy's massage, he sat down on the chair to enjoy the little guy's massage. From time to time, his little hand would scratch the itchy place, which made him tremble all over, and also made the little guy giggle laugh.

"The weather forecast says there will be strong winds tonight, so you can move to the small living room to sleep overnight. The air circulates well here, and it's not so stuffy. I'll go find a fan later." After Lu Ci finished packing, Yun Said to her lazily.

"Well, it's the first time I've felt so stuffy after living in a bamboo building for so long. It seems that this typhoon is quite powerful, and I don't know what will happen tomorrow." Lu Ci also sat down and lifted the cloud Li's feet help him loosen his tendons. He has spent the whole afternoon drilling in the mountains, so his legs and feet must be very sore.

Lu Ci's workmanship was much better than Xiaoya's, and he squeezed Yunli so that he felt comfortable all over. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare leisure time, and he didn't want to think about other things. After a while, he replied: "Linshan County is not in the eye of the typhoon. In the moving area, but on the route of the cyclone's influence area, it is estimated that the power is not small, but I have never believed in such things as weather forecasts, and I will know what it will look like tomorrow."

"Then go to bed early tonight, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep if the wind is too strong at night, there are still many things to do tomorrow." Lu Ci suggested.

"Don't do anything tomorrow, just stay in the house obediently. Personal safety is the most important thing. If the crops are gone, you can plant them again. If the work is delayed, you can make up again. I have dismissed all the engineering team members. Let's just be lazy when the typhoon comes." Yun Li seriously instructed that the safety of personnel is his first consideration.

"Okay, then you can't run around tomorrow, just stay in the house obediently." Lu Ci instructed in the same tone.

Yun Li nodded, agreeing, and Lu Ci went to prepare a place to sleep. In fact, he didn't have much to prepare. He moved two bamboo chairs out and put them on together, and there was room for three people to sleep, let alone them. Among them was a little guy who didn't take up much space.

Before this summer, Yunli installed air conditioners in all the rooms in the office building, so that everyone can have a comfortable living and resting environment. As for the bamboo buildings, which are always clean and cool, they did not install them together. An electric fan was difficult enough, and finally I found a small one in Brother Chen's luggage. He doesn't need the electromagnetic body protection, and it's okay for Lu Ci and Xiaoya to blow it down.

He searched the entire office building but couldn't find Brother Chen. He asked Xu Jiali and found out that he had gone back to school temporarily. Although he was going to retire soon, he still had to go back to school to do typhoon prevention work. He didn't relax at the last moment, and he didn't want to leave any regrets on this teacher's journey.

After practicing routinely for a while, Yunli came down to the small hall on the second floor when Xiaoya fell asleep, and got into a bamboo chair to hug Lu Ci to sleep and rest. Lu Ci didn't feel sleepy at first, but Yunli's presence made her feel Extremely relieved, it didn't take long for the eyelids to close and fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, the two of them were woken up by the sound of knocking. The strong wind blew hard without warning, and the bamboo rafts on the outer wall of the bamboo building were "slapping" and there were harsh noises from the roof. The bamboo buildings shook with the strong wind, giving people a very uneasy feeling.

Yunli understands the stability of the bamboo building very well. When Mr. Chen designed it, he took into account disaster factors such as typhoon, earthquake, and flood. It's a steel structure, so naturally it won't be a big problem, and the wind force of this level won't have much effect on it, so they can stay in it with peace of mind.

Good bamboo buildings can stand for hundreds of years and cannot be destroyed by typhoons, earthquakes or floods. There are still such bamboo buildings in many places in the southwest, and they are still in use today. They are unique cultural products here.Yunli used his only savings to build this bamboo building, and he was very satisfied with it after living in it for so long. Sometimes he would miss the unique beauty of the bamboo building when he lived in a luxurious room in a big hotel.

But the bamboo building is not perfect. Bamboo is tough and durable, and lighter than steel masonry, which makes the main body of the bamboo building lighter. The wind didn't stop, and Xiaoya, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up shortly after. Feeling the uneasy environment around her, she closed her eyelids and kept crying.

The gusts of wind became more frequent and more powerful. If they blew like this all night, they would not be able to sleep with their eyes closed. No matter how Lu Ci comforted them, Xiaoya still couldn't stop crying. The electricity was cut off all the time, and the little guy became more irritable and restless in the dark environment, and his voice was about to cry hoarse.

In desperation, they had no choice but to move to the office building. Fortunately, it was windy and there was no rain falling. Otherwise, it would be difficult to walk from the bamboo building to the office building in a storm. During the interval, Yunli hugged Xiaoya in one hand, and led Lu Ci in the other hand, and ran quickly to the office building. The distance was very short, and the process was safe and sound, but when they reached the office building, both of them were sweating profusely .
